It’s not any big news that tomor­row after­noon there is a highly antic­i­pated event. An event peo­ple have been talk­ing about for the last few weeks and have a lot of pre-suppositions about what will be said and its effects on all sec­tors of life. I mean, this event will sway mar­ket indices and change the Amer­i­can, the world’s, out­look on the rest of 2010.

So, what’s the event? or what are the events? I am sure you have an idea and will be hear­ing all about both of these speeches for the many months to come.

Steve Jobs on the Tablet, Barack Obama on the State of the Union.

It is not too often that an Apple event, rid­dled with mys­tery and incred­i­ble mar­ket­ing strat­egy falls on the same day of a state of the union address.

An arti­cle on each event.

A friend tweeted a ques­tion that sent my head think­ing about this inter­est­ing meet-up/mash-up of political/capitalist event­ing. And pos­si­bly how deep the irony really can go. The CEO of one of the worlds largest and fastest grow­ing com­pa­nies releas­ing new prod­uct in a mar­ket shap­ing man­ner. The pres­i­dent of the U.S. giv­ing a speech on the dilemma of the economy.

This morn­ing, while talk­ing about these events, a friend, Croy, made pos­si­bly the best hypoth­e­sis heard yet. Steve Jobs will be announc­ing Apple’s new health­care sys­tem, over­haul­ing the entire process the gov­ern­ment has begun and redefin­ing the indus­try. Mar­ket­ing phrase “An Apple A Day Keeps The Doc­tor Away.”

I do have to say I am more excited about the impact of what Apple will be announc­ing, but am def­i­nitely more inter­ested in the long-term effects of the mes­sage the pres­i­dent conveys.

So, Which one will you watch?
